"This kidna reminds us of Feral Flare launch, and nobody wants that again."

So you nerf half its damage?? What about the AD jungler item! it gives 50 AD AND 10 Armor Pen WITH CD ?? Why didnt you nerf that?? that AD jungler item literally does more damage then the new FF on hit with that armor pen and flat ad. The 40% Attack speed doesnt even COMPARE to the 50 flat ad and 10armor pen the AD jungle item gives. Please nerf the AD jungle item so they have to STACK in the jungle or put the new FF back the way it was this was a flawed balance change.

The AD jungle item does more damage...but only when you first buy it. Devourer is designed to be the farming jungler's infinite-scaling tool, and it works well: I've gotten it up to 90+ bonus damage, which far and away outclasses the Warrior enchantment.

Starting at 40 just made it too easy to get the values into the stratosphere. Nerfing it down to 25 gave it a much better curve: one that doesn't come online strong immediately after the item is purchased and then start scaling.
